We were just about to give up hope on getting my boyfriend's license reinstated in IL when I contacted John Callahan this all changed. He and his associates were very helpful and understanding of our situation. They walked us through every step of the way and made it a much easier process than we had experienced trying to do it on our own. We highly recommend John Callahan and his associates. Thank you again for all your help!!

I am a real estate agent with the Prime Real Estate Group, and I always refer my clients to Niko Marneris for all of their real estate transactions because he and his associates are professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate to their clients needs! I was able to witness this type of care first hand as I recently just purchased my new home. There was such attention to every detail and a quick response to any question I had! This group is truly top notch and I will continue to send my clients in their direction!

I was charged with DUI. Liam worked to save my license and was also able to get it dropped to reckless so I don't have a DUI on my record. Jerri is great too. I highly recommend you hire Liam. He will work hard for you.

14 Dec, 2022 by Carlos

I hired Liam for a complicated case that another lawyer was selling me out on and made it worse over the time two counts of domestic battery. Liam knew I was not guilty listened to everything I said looked over my case he’s up to date with every law that changes.! Jerri the paralegal was the best also both of them are the dream team such a sweetheart women always gave me the best advice and what outcome to expect of everything. Always responsive never looked mad or bothered they are good at their job it’s their first home before their actual home that should tell you a lot. Liam got me a no guilty verdict in a bench trial he is so passionate at what he does you can tell he has all the judges and prosecutors respect! He is a LEGEND even the judge said I made the best decision hiring Liam! Thank you so much Liam and Jerri for always having me come in when I had questions and for being there when other lawyers turn the case down or wanted me to plea cause they had no time for my case. Liam is not afraid of trials he will fight for you if anyone wants to take your freedom he will go head to head against everyone who wants to hurt you! Happy holidays to you and Jerri and your family from me and my family. Dixon wins!!!! Don’t think twice hire him no regrets at all!

I never expected to need a criminal defense attorney, but when I did, a quick Google search lead me to David Freidberg. After a consultation I decided to hire him and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Throughout the two-year case, David was professional, easy to communicate with, reliable, and honest with expectations. I never had any problem getting in touch with him and he always seemed well prepared and organized. When I received a very favorable outcome (which had seemed like a long shot), I felt very validated having hired him. I would highly recommend.

After firing my attorney in a DUI case, I found Steven who actually took the time to educate and guide me through the process. He actually does care about his clients. He won my case. I would highly recommend Steven's services if you are looking for an attorney with a great track record.

04 Jan, 2022 by Jahangir

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Steve handled my case in a manner that was swift and reassuring, and answered all my questions knowledgably and patiently. If you wish you had an attorney that truly cared about your case and got the job done like a true professional, Steve should be your top pick.

16 Dec, 2021 by Anonymous

After firing my first attorney who literally took my 10K retainer and advised me to "plead guilty, sell your house and move," boy am I glad I stumbled across Mr. Klein. I didn't know about AVVO at the time, but real client reviews are probably the best way to judge a potential attorney. By the time I hired Mr. Klein on several convoluted and grossly exaggerated matters that had ballooned out of hand, which included OOP and VOOP, he was able to get the OOP vacated and VOOPs dismissed, which seemed initially like an impossible task, especially since the original attorney bungled the case so badly and several months had elapsed. In the end, I received court supervision for one separate case, with all others dismissed. About Mr. Klein's style: He's a great communicator. Available, responsive, patient, and explains things in detail (and many of the details can easily get confusing). Sometimes he gets gruff or short when he is in the middle of fighting hard for your case, so trust that he is placing his energy where it needs to go and will get back to you later to explain the finer details. A word about pricing: A friend advised me, be wary of attorneys who charge you by the hour, because you can't really know how much time they have actually spent on the case. I found this out the hard way, when my original attorney kept over 3K of my original retainer, after doing pretty much nothing on my cases. Mr. Klein in contrast offered transparent pricing, telling me exactly what his cost was for each matter in full, and additional fees if the case went to bench trial vs. jury trial (it didn't.) If you have any pending criminal matter and need a great attorney, I unequivocally recommend Steve Klein!

I was facing 10 years in federal prison. With all the evidence stacked against me and my former attorney suggesting that I take a plea…it was Gal who told me that the case could be beat and urged me to fight. Gal’s due diligence, preparation and knowledge of the law earned my trust. He did an excellent job in communicating the process which put me at ease. His skillful line of questioning caused the DEA agent to blatantly admit in open court that I was racially profiled. Because of this admission, the motion to suppress was granted and the case was dismissed. I am extremely grateful to Gal for his optimism and ability to deliver.

02 Sep, 2020 by Andrea

Gal is extremely professional and works hard for his clients. I am forever grateful to have had him as my Attorney. Thanks to Gal this extremely scary and stressful situation was worked out without jail time!!! I highly recommend Gal for anyone who has run into trouble with the courts!!!

I retained JohnPaul to get something expunged from my record. At first he didn’t think that I qualified for expungement, but after some interpretation and reading more into the law, he felt that he had a valid point to argue. Well, he was right. He argued the point and was able to convince the court. My record is now expunged and a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. JohnPaul is knowledgeable, professional and prompt with communicating. If I ever need legal assistance in the future, he will be the first person I call.

14 Mar, 2024 by Aaron

We had an issue that required us to hire an attorney. This was a first for our family and we reached out to Mr. Ivec. He was professional through the entire process. He explained to us what we should expect and helped us through the entire process. We were required to make appearances twice in court and he was with us both times and handled things efficiently. In the end, everything happened exactly as was expected and we were very happy with the legal outcome in large part due to Mr. Ivec's assistance.

05 Feb, 2024 by Anonymous

JohnPaul was a very compassionate and hard working attorney. He fought to get the best possible outcome in my case and went above and beyond to achieve that. Not everything is under his control but achieved a positive outcome.

03 Apr, 2023 by Ieasha

I never thought in a zillion years that I'd be facing criminal charges. I am grateful that I chose Joe to be my attorney, he got my case dismissed! I was so nervous through out this process and he reassured me when I was a mess! Outside of him getting the job done, he was also such a kind person. When facing troubles, we all need someone who is just going to be a good human to you. I 1000% recommend The Kostopoulos Law Group.

My daughter found herself in a world of trouble after a New Year's Eve gone terribly wrong. She was arrested and charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors. After doing searches online, I am beyond grateful we called and Joe Messineo was on the other end. Joe told my daughter what she need to do immediately in terms of seeking treatment, documenting her efforts. With her efforts and Joe's ability to navigate the legal system, charges were reduced to one misdemeanor with the ability to be expunged. Thank you is not enough.

Yes,it did take longer than I would have liked it to,I had to take into consideration all of the people they as a Law firm had to talk to, to try to figure out how to do this right,since I live out of State.Such as Evaluations and A Out Of State Packet.Got A Evaluation in my State and it was not cheep,and sent it in and Hanna,since that was what they told me to do.Hanna told me it wasnt good enough,The state would deny me and found a awesome guy to do this for me in Illinois.He Knew the Laws,is great at what he does and was a pleasure to meet.Hannah and Rudd did for me what they said they would do and what I have hired other Lawyers, who only took some of my money,and did nothing for me since 1991.This has been a long road for me, and I am so glad that that road is at a new beginning.Chris is awesome,was always there to answer my questions,and call me back,or email me with a answer.Thank You So Much,Hanna&Chris.

I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. The support staff was friendly and professional. Everybody at the firm seemed to be working on my case and knew what was going on every time I had any questions. They made me feel like I was more than just a file and that they actually cared about me as a person. Great result, great guys. Thanks!

I hired mr Dolci to represent me for a felony drug charge. He won my case by filing a motion to prove the cops didn't have probable cause to search my car. He made the cop look like a liar. It was great! The case was over in two months and I walked out a free man. We hadn't even payed our full fee to him. He offered to waive the balance of his money. I payed it anyway. This is the guy I want in my "favorites". Awesome dude. Also, he's funny as hell.

Tom Bruno worked with us and my son who was charged with under age drinking. He was available to defend his case in the court, provided timely advise and follow ups to make sure my son completed his volunteer service and probation requirements. In addition, Tom is always approachable and prompt in calling us back with any number of questions, no matter how trivial they are . I was very happy to be represented by Tom and his professional expertise for my legal matters. He is the best in the business. I will recommend his highly to anyone seeking a professional and caring attorney. Thank you Tom for your help.

There really is no words to explain what an exceptional lawyer Dan is. Little history on my story/experience with Dan; I was dealing with a case with a different lawyer that did an awful job. I then came into probation violation and it was a very complicated case where I had technically 4 violations. A warrant was set out for me. I was allowed to move to another state for school and the court was going to take me back to Illinois. It seemed truly like a case that NO WAY I could win. But then Dan did his thing. Dan not only was able to SQUASH my no bond warrant, he was able to let me stay in the state I reside in currently AND got me off of probation and under supervision instead! I have no clue how he was able to do so much but he made it work. And having dealt with a bad lawyer I really know the difference between a good and bad one. When we deal with court it’s scary. You want a lawyer that will respond fast, give their all to defend you and try to get the best outcome possible, and one that gives you RESPECT. Dan did all of these things and I can’t thank him enough. If I had to return to Illinois I would have lost my school, apartment, job and I would most likely have been living out of a car and really losing all the goods I have in my life out here in the state I reside in. If you are in need of a good lawyer, trust me, if Dan could do this much for my case, he is definitely the lawyer you want by your side and will give you his all to help you. Thank you so much Dan!!!

15 Oct, 2021 by Jose

I highly recommend Dan. He recently helped me with two separate matters and we had a successful outcome on both. Dan and Steve (his law partner) worked together and did a great job at keeping me informed throughout the process. The prices were very reasonable. I hope I don't ever need them again but if I something comes up, Steve and Dan will be the first ones I will call.

"Dan is the BEST of the BEST". He got us the BEST POSSIBLE Outcome. Working with Dan was awesome. Without going into specifics, I would like to say just one sentence. "Dan is the BEST of the BEST". Do not take my word on this internet, just go and meet him once and you will see for yourself. Dan knows everyone in the system. He is very easy to talk to. I have interviewed a dozen attorneys before meeting Dan. Immediately decided to go with Dan. Steve is super awesome. During the initial parts, Steve took care of me (when Dan had to attend other things). I cant write my specific topic and details due to privacy concerns but I just want to describe how I found Dan. I read all the reviews on internet and decided to go meet in person. Jennifer answered my call and setup a quick appointment with Dan for same day; arrived on time and met both Dan & Steve. Steve was supposed to head out to something but it was very nice of him to stay back till I had presented my details. Just go & meet them, if you need to hire an attorney!!!! You will thank yourselves. It is really unfortunate for anyone to be searching for an attorney and there are many many attorneys that want to prey on the weaknesses and take advantage of the situation. But Dan is not into that stuff. He is genuine, compassionate and caring. He explains everything in a simple manner and waits to answer all your questions with patience and empathy. One great advantage is, Dan and Steve are a team of two, For the initial rounds, they will make sure one of them attend the dates and take care of you. Wish the Best of Regards to Dan and Steve!!!!!

This guy puts his heart and soul into every case he gets whether it is something trivial or major, in cook county or has to drive to Dupage county or a neighboring courthouse he will get it done. You obviously have to have some intelligence to be an effective attorney but to really get things done you have to have a great work ethic and be likable too. Eric fits the bill, he has a fierce work ethic and I don't know if I ever met anyone that doesn't like him. I tell everyone I can about Eric. As nice as he is, he's an animal in the court room. I would be happy to speak to you about Eric and would proudly put my name all over his endorsement.

Simply stated Eric Bell is a wonderful lawyer, he took care of everything for me! He responded promptly to all of my concerns and really put my mind at ease. He approached my case aggressively with favorable results that minimized my liability on ticket violations by 70%. I would use his legal services again and highly recommend them to anyone!

Words alone cannot express my gratitude to the entire Passen Law Group team. They took a very difficult time of my life a guided me to successful resolution. After being rear-ended in a car accident I began having physical difficulties with speech, headaches, memory, taste and ringing in my ears. While in the Emergency Room it was discovered I had incurred a severe traumatic brain injury called a subdural hematoma. While recovering after brain surgery, it took me some time to be able talk and communicate clearly again. During that time a lifelong friend encouraged I contact the Passen Law Group. I knew I needed help communicating with third parties legally involved in the aftermath of the car accident. Because I was unable to leave my home during recovery, Mr. Passen willingly came to my home and clearly explained a recommended course of action. I agreed with the approach and consented to retain their services. It’s over now, but I will never forget the high level of professionalism and expertise exhibited by the Passen Law Group throughout the duration of this legal matter. And I‘d like to express a special thank you to their administrative manager, Kim Sanchez who always kept me informed of status and progress of issues along the way. What a team !!!

Unfortunately, when I was younger I got myself into some criminal trouble. I found his postcard in my mail one day and called him and had a free consultation. He was so honest and didn't sugar coat anything; which is exactly what I needed to hear. I should've gotten prison time but James made a miracle happen and I ended up with probation and minor fines. I STRONGLY recommend this man to represent you and your family in Court!!!

On behalf of a caring community, and I, as an informed observer, recognize and celebrate Stephen Komie, of Komie and Associates, with a five star rating for his defense of a client whose case spanned 12 long years under the injustice of the court system. Mr. Komie inherited this case of extreme magnitude from another attorney, and ever so gallantly brought in a forensic psychiatrist who interviewed and tested the subject and came to the conclusion that this person did not have the ability to knowingly form the intent to do something wrong. With his passion, legal expertise, and sacred calling, Mr. Komie was the joyful warrior who fought for someone who needed a voice. Three cheers for never giving up, for righting a wrong which should never have materialized in the first place, and for bringing about a discharge of that which was brought against this individual. In conclusion, you, Mr. Komie, are held in the highest regard, have earned distinction in your chosen field, and have brought abundant blessings to those you have boldly represented! - RCM

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:

You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.

What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?

A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:

Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.

How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?

Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

How Much Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a sex crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates are:

Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Sex Crime Lawyer

Verify their license: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
Experience and specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal defense with a focus on sex crime cases.
Client reviews and testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
Professional memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) can indicate a commitment to the field.
Disciplinary record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
Consultation feedback: Use the initial consultation to assess their communication style, professionalism, and confidence in handling your case.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a sex crime lawyer, bring the following:

Detailed account of events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and any conversations.
Legal documents: Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
- Arrest records
- Charging documents
- Bail paperwork
- Search warrants
- Any correspondence from law enforcement or the court
Witness information: Provide names and contact information of any potential witnesses who can support your defense.
Evidence: Bring any physical evidence or records that may be relevant, such as emails, text messages, or social media interactions.
List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer's experience.
Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.
Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's dismissing charges, reducing penalties, or addressing registration as a sex offender.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
